Tensions continued to rise between Trump and Bush during the GOP debate as issues on immigration and women's rights came to the forefront. Trump raised eyebrows when he said that he "respects women." But it was Bush who raised even more eyebrows, when he told Trump to apologize to his wife for making unnecessary remarks about her heritage. Trump, in fashion, refused to apologize.

The Trump and Bush feud was just the tip of the iceberg for viewers. When Bush confessed to Jake Tapper and America that he smoked marijuana, viewers went insane. Though he was called a hypocrite by Rand Paul, Bush strategically used his confession to talk about his views on drugs in America.

Depsite the criticism from Trump, Bush brought cheers from the crowd when he stood up for his brother/former president, George W. Bush on 9/11 and his military stance. His comment ,"He kept us safe" brought support and criticism from viewers alike.
